A Journey Through Wild Africa to the Indian Ocean.
If you’re looking for more than just a holiday, something immersive, raw, and unforgettable, this 14-day Uganda and Kenya Safari & Beach experience by Otter African Safaris is designed for exactly that.
This is not a rushed checklist tour. It’s a carefully paced journey through East Africa’s most iconic landscapes, wildlife ecosystems, and cultural touchpoints,s ending with pure relaxation on the Indian Ocean coast.
Let’s walk through what your experience will actually feel like, day by day.
Day 1: Arrival in Uganda – Welcome to the Pearl of Africa
Your journey begins in Entebbe. You’re received by our professional team and transferred to your hotel. The pace is intentionally slow; this is about settling in, not rushing. Expect a relaxed evening, briefing, and preparation for what lies ahead.
Day 2: Transfer to Murchison Falls National Park
The road trip north introduces you to Uganda’s countryside, lush, vibrant, and authentic.
You’ll stop at Ziwa Rhino Sanctuary for a guided rhino tracking experience, then continue to Murchison Falls.
By evening, you’ll hear the distant roar of the Nile squeezing through a narrow gorge.
Day 3: Game Drive & Nile Boat Safari
This is your first real safari day.

- Afternoon boat cruise on the Nile: hippos, crocodiles, and birdlife.
The highlight? Watching the Nile explode through Murchison Falls up close.
Day 4: Transfer to Kibale Forest
Today shifts from the savannah to the rainforest.
You head southwest toward Kibale, the primate capital of East Africa. The landscapes change dramatically, from tea plantations to crater lakes to dense jungle.
Day 5: Chimpanzee Tracking & Bigodi Wetland Walk
